DeepMind's AlphaGenome Atlas Predicts Effects of All ~9B Possible Human DNA Variants
The Decoder · rss · 2026-09-09
Google DeepMind has released the AlphaGenome Atlas, predicting the likely effect of each of the roughly nine billion possible single-letter changes in the human genome. The dataset spans one petabyte — more than 30 times the size of the AlphaFold database. In one epilepsy case, the atlas helped pinpoint a previously overlooked variant as the likely cause of the disease.
